About Ryan
I started playing tennis in middle school and ended up playing varsity tennis all four years of high school. I won state as a doubles player my senior year in Colorado. I was given a scholarship to play college tennis at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS. After i graduated I coached two years at Bishop Carroll High School in Wichita, KS. I am currently a kindergarten teacher in Wichita, KS and am looking to give tennis lessons during the summer time and during the school year at times after school and weekends. Thanks!

Teaching Experience: 4 years

Teaching Style
I have a general all around approach to my tennis lessons. I like to begin with about 5-10 minute warmup where we hit back and forth and loosen up. I then tend to go over a few things I would like to work on, give an example, and then we practice that skill for about 10-15 minutes. My specialty would have to be ground strokes and volleys (especially since I was a strong doubles player in high school and college). Depending upon who I am working with will determine my intensity with the lesson. If I am working with a new student to the game I will be much more relaxed and patient, while I’ll expect much more out of a student who is looking to improve to make their particular team or improve there current skill set. My main goal is to help you improve your overall tennis skill set and grow to love the game as much as I do.

Hobbies
My passions in sports are tennis and basketball. My favorite music is alternative, rock and recently have begun to enjoy country a lot more. I just recently had a beautiful baby girl and am absolutely in love with her.
